reflection, remembrance and unity. people across the entire country coming together today to remember the lives lost during the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001. a very, very emotional day. good morning, everybody, and thank you very much for joining us, i'm jon kelley. >> and i'm marla tellez in for laura garcia-cannon. 11 years ago today our nation's history was forever changed when 4 planes, including one on its way to san francisco, were hijacked and crashed by terrorists. we do have a live look this morning at the world trade center memorial in new york city where those lost are gone but not forgotten. right now what's happening under way there, you can see family members, they are taking the time to read each and every name of each and every victim. almost 3,000 people losing their lives on that fateful day 11 years ago. joining us live from ground zero, today in the bay's

danielle lee joins us with a look at this day of remembrance still ahead. >> reporter: and good morning. the ceremony here at the national memorial has just begun minutes ago with the ringing of the bells at st. paul's chapel. about 200 family members who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks 11 years ago are now beginning to read the names of those nearly 3,000 victims who were lost. we have seen hundreds of people gathering around this memorial. janet napolitano, governor chris christ christie. those politicians who are here will not be speaking. this is the first year politicians are not allowed to speak at this ceremony as the organizers are hoping to keep politics out of the event and make this a more intimate experience for these families still suffering from these attacks 11 years ago. some other developments that have helped make people take steps toward healing.

first responders who suffered from cancer due to the debris from the terrorist attacks will now receive treatment under the world trade center health program. more than 50 types of cancer have been added to the types of treatment that they can have covered as a result of these attacks, and also mayor bloomberg was able to announce that a museum that has basically sat on hold below those reflecting pools will now be able to be completed. no work had been being done because of a financial dispute but now that that has been resolved, they will be able to build that which will commemorate many of these victims who were lost. something the friends and families of victims said is needed to make this tribute complete. this ceremony will last for about four hours. mean while president waobama ist the white house participating in a moment of silence and then heading over to the pentagon. and vice president joe biden will be at another ceremony at shanksville, pennsylvania, again, remembering those victims who were lost when those four planes were hijacked 11 years ago. i'm danielle lee, now back to

you. >> thank you, danielle. we are just seconds away, 6:03, to mark another moment of silence when the second tower, the south tower was hit. let's take a moment. >> earlier at 5:46, that moment

was observed, there was silence at the north tower. this now at 6:03 was the silence at the site near the south tower where united flight 175 struck that tower fate fully 11 years ago. related to this story, a money dispute has delayed the opening of the national september 11th memorial museum. this has now been resolved. the museum was scheduled to open today but funding issues between the museum foundation and the port authority of new york put a stop to the construction. the foundation controls the memorial and the museum. the port authority owns the world trade center site. now, late last night both groups finally getting together to strike a deal that will restart construction on that site. and the tributes to the almost 3,000 people killed in the 9/11 attacks are not limited to new york, washington, d.c. and shanksville, pennsylvania. >> that is right. there are several locations and events across the country marking the september 11th anniversary. christie smith is live in san francisco where firefighters are

preparing to honor the fallen in a bell ringing ceremony there. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. they are starting to show up as we speak. hard to believe that it's already been 11 years. you certainly remember where you were and what you were doing when you got the news about the terrorist attacks. well, san francisco firefighters, as they have done before, are holding a remembrance ceremony. we are here at station 7. the mayor and the fire chief expected to be here. this gets under way in just under an hour, it starts about 6:45. what they'll do is roll their apparatus out and firefighters will assemble at their flag poles. then at the time of the south tower collapse, they ring bells which signify the last alarm. finally reading the names of all 343 firefighters and paramedics from new york who lost their lives that day. it's a very somber ceremony. san francisco firefighters, of course, were among those who went to new york to help out and say that the memories are still

fresh and so are the lessons learned. new training and homeland security funding has certainly changed things. there are a number of other events going on today around the bay area. at 9:00 this morning in san jose's oak hill memorial park there will be a memorial and flame lighting ceremony. that will be repeated at 6:00 p.m. also at 9:45, a and in lechbt pleasanton, a ceremony will take place with police and fire. while there is a ceremony here at station 7, it's also happening at all 43 fire stations across the city and the public is invited to attend. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. we will of course have continuing coverage of the day of remembrance throughout our broadcast and all day long, including the moment of silence

at the pentagon coming up at 6:37. 6:07 now. the latest on a developing story in san jose where two men jumped from the second story of an apartment complex to escape flames. the early morning fire gutted one apartment at the monterey villa apartments in south san jose. this is a look at cell phone video recorded by the man who lives below the unit who caught fire. this is what it looked like as the first fire crews arrived. the next-door neighbor says he could only watch as firefighters tried to knock down these flames. >> the whole balcony was engulfed in flames. >> reporter: and we hear some people had to actually escape? >> jumping from windows. the people next door, they didn't come out the front door because the fire was in the front room. they came out -- they busted out the window, the bedroom window, which is right next to my apartment. >> one of the two men who jumped from the second floor is being treated for burns. the other man is said to be

okay. 11 other people had to be evacuated from the four-unit complex. investigators are still trying to figure out the cause of that fire. police in orinda are stepping up patrols after a recent kidnapping attempt. just last wednesday a given-year-old girl was out walking her dog when he was approached by a car. the driver demanded she get in. she refused. he grabbed her but she was able to escape. the suspect was an african-american machine in his late 20s to early 30s. chest length dreadlocks and a thin mustache. he was last seen driving an older black four-door sedan. this morning the eight-foot section of pipe that failed and led to that massive chevron refinery fire in richmond is on its way to a lab to be analyzed. investigators say the eight-inch section had thinned dangerously near the spot that ruptured. they will analyze the pipe for corrosion and other factors that

led to the split that marked last month's fire. chevron decided to replace a nearby line for maintenance last year but chose to delay replacement of the pipe that ultimately failed. investigators are focusing on whether chevron followed industry standards when deciding not to replace the aimingiging christina loren looking outside to see what's happening tuesdaywise. >> your tuesday is looking a-okay. we're going to hold on to summer-like conditions. in fact conditions just about right where they should be, average for this time of year. completely clear start for now here in san jose. we are expecting mostly cloudy conditions all the way from san francisco to concord. 57 in fairfield and we're at 53, comfortable here at san jose. a little on the chilly side. this tells the story of the day. we'll see more widespread cloud cover for the first part of the day. it's going to linger a little longer and that's going to limit the sunshine a little bit more so than we saw yesterday. hence, a little bit cooler this

afternoon. we stop that clock again for you at noon and you can see all the cloud cover at that point will be pushed right pack out into the pacific, so temperatures are looking really good. 80 degrees inland. as you wrebreak for lunch, you' be 68 bayside and 78 at 4:00 p.m. the microclimates, they really differentiate the weather around here so we'll talk about that coming up. 6:10. first we want to check your drive. >> we're looking at a smooth flow for 880 through fremont. the big concern was here at the dublin interchange. the earlier accident, indeed they said it was going to take 25 minutes for the tow trucks to arrive, but they managed to move the cars to the shoulder without them. good stuff. apparently whatever injuries they were, not a big deal. that has cleared from the report, so has the slowing. then look at the right of your screen. a new accident at the first street off-ramp were this lanes about five minutes. that was enough to trigger a big

slowdown coming out of the altamont pass. the folks in livermore and dublin, you might catch a break because of all these folks held up. now all lanes are cleared so expect them in a few minutes. this is a live look at the bay bridge. stacking up in the cash lanes. the metering lights, expect them in a couple of minutes. to the south bay, the volume builds for 101 as well. slowing just south of 680. 6:11. coming up, star power in syria. why a hollywood a-lister is risking her life to help a country in crisis. hackers may not be as powerful as they said, and the worst pizza in the history of the world. yeah, just check yelp. we'll take a look coming up in business. and coast to coast, america pauses to remember 9/11, from new york to d.c. to pennsylvania and all the way to san francisco. that is a live look at old glory blowing in the wind. firefighters there set to honor the fallen with a ringing ceremony. i like to score

[ male announcer ] love chex? connect with us on facebook. welcome back on this september 11th. giving you a live look at the pentagon where a moment of silence will take place in less than 30 minutes at 6:37. of course we will mark that moment of silence. you can see people gathering. >> a very emotional day. hearts are heavy coast to coast. everybody remembering the 9/11 attacks. if you happen to just be waking up with us, here's a look at the day's top stories. today marking the 11 years since hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers of the world trade center, the pentagon and a field in shanksville, pennsylvania. memorial events being held coast to coast at each of those sites

and thousands of cities across the country. two people were forced to jump from the second story to get away from a fast-moving fire early this morning of the one of those men is in the hospital being treated for second-degree burns. the cause of the fire is under investigation. and federal investigators finally removing a section of pipeline that failed at the richmond chevron refinery, prompting a massive fire. investigators say early tests show the pipe was dangerously thin there and that segment is now being analyzed at a private lab. 6:15. happening now, actress angelina jolie is touring a refugee camp in jordan to meet with syrians who have escaped the civil war in their country. 27,000 syrians displaced by the conflict now live at the camp. jolie is part of a special envoy to the united nations and is touring the site alongside jordan's foreign minister. the united nations says the camp needs massive international funding because conditions are,

quote, unacceptable. a developing story in hong kong where occupy activists are fighting back against bailiffs trying to evict them from their camp underneath the asian headquarters. they pushed and shoved the activists. hong kong's occupy movement first started camping out at that site last october. 6:16 right now. recently hackers claim they stole the personal data of thousands of iphone users and took it from fbi computers. >> today we know that claim is not true. scott mcgrew has been looking into this. >> good morning, jon. good morning, laura. we first told you about these claims last week. the theft of what hackers said were 12 million numbers called udid, unique to apple products. those hackers loosely associated with anonymous said the numbers came from a stolen fbi laptop. turns out they did not. a company in florida called blued to that works with ipad

said they lost the numbers, not the fbi, and it was far less data than hackers were claiming. some of those same hackers are this morning claiming responsibility for yesterday's failure of the internet service godaddy. it's best known for its commercials. godaddy assigns names to and hosts websites. it was knocked offline monday afternoon after a short time. hey, you remember this on sunday, the old how heavy is the president, let's find out with a giant hug? there we go, he's not heavy. funny video, kind of sweet really. a pizza parlor owner, a republican, by the way, so excited to meet the president he kind of forgets the handshake might be more appropriate. how can we ruin this this politics? well, we can do it using yelp. users, thousands of them, have bombarded big apple pizza with bad reviews. if you're a small business owner and support obama, you deserve to have a failed business. one star.

one person won't eat there because the owner, quote, obviously likes the idea of same-sex marriage. it was just a bro hug really. but lots of people are now joining in, giving it five star reviews. we suspect none of those people have ever been to big apple pizza in florida, but we'll find out from yelp what they're going to do about this. they went from two reviews to 2,000 overnight. >> the owner is a republican but he says he voted for obama last time, plans to do it again this time. >> he was excited. >> gave him a little spinal adjustment too. >> nothing wrong with a little bromance. you too, maybe you want to go to a walk this morning, perfect for that. conditions are downright brisk. it's going to be a little on the cool side compared to where we have been. 6:18 now, taking a live look at coit tower lit up in red, white and blue in honor of 9/11. we will have more coverage live for you from new york coming up.

6:18 now. let's go ahead and show you what we're looking like today in san jose. beautiful sunrise here. we are expecting some low clouds to push inland, but so far that is not the case. we're at 53 degrees down there. 54 at san francisco and 45, cooling off more so in novato. as we head throughout the day today, an area of low pressure will drop through. it's a weak, dry trough. as this moves through, it will pick up that sea breeze that's ushering in the strong onshore flow keeping our temperatures close to 90 degrees but not quite. we've got a hotter trend on the way. as we head through the end of the week, much hotter conditions so if you can handle the upper 80s, go ahead and open up the windows in your home. good air quality across the board courtesy of that onshore flow. 69 degrees. comfortable in the city by the bay. 79 at redwood city and 71 in santa cruz. getting a little hot out in the east bay tri-valley, at 89 degrees in livermore. so let's talk about the seven-day outlook because that's

when things start to change. we'll be at 95 degrees on thursday. 92 friday, 91 on saturday, great conditions for you to hit the beach as this is one of the last weekends of summer. you've only got two left. so if you want to do so, make sure you get it in there because as we transition into fall, it comes in quickly, it gets cold, cloudy and then the rainy season starts as we get into it looks like probably december for us this time of year. 6:20. let's talk to mike about your drive. >> if you're taking your nina or nino to school, the traffic will be slow. just north of the 680 interchange is where we see slowing up towards mckee is where we see the big slowing. also towards 880 so that's the most popular spot as far as the on-ramps go right about now. we also have a power outage on monterey highway right around this area between capital and just north of there, so watch

for that zone with some signal lights that are out. if you have friends, call them at your cell phone because their alarm clock might not be working. we'll look over to a very slow spot. the earlier accident over here at first has cleared to the shoulder but the distraction and the early backup just has that ripple effect. folks hitting their brakes as a result of that caterpillar action that goes on. so a smoother drive. folks through dublin and pleasanton paying off from that accident, holding traffic off just a bit. no problems but a little slowing through sunol. live look outside shows you how things are shaping up at the toll plaza. the metering lights are on but still see movement as you're coming past the 880 overcrossing. that continues to build. another live look outside shows you across that san mateo bridge, westbound your commute moves smoothly but a good volume of traffic from the hayward side, flat section and the high rise both moving nicely, though. back to you. >> people have places to go, people to see. >> indeed they do. it is 6:21 right now. coming up, a scratch-off

rip-off. a new risk for lotto players and what you need to know to avoid becoming one of the victims. we'll have that just ahead.

>> the old dog still has some old tricks. the young guy has forgotten them. >> the crew took the fleet racing competition by holding the points lead through the

entire event. >> you know, it's the first time in front of our home fans and it's just exciting to be able to reward them with that. >> and for the spectators by the bay, it was a great chance to get up close and personal with america's cup racing. >> it looked like people were having fun. at the end of the day that's what it's all about. >> on course with the america's cup, i'm lawrence scott. welcome back at 6:24. it's new, it's simple and a way to cheat the people who play scratchers games. investigative reporter vicky nguyen joins us to explain how it works with surveillance video catching the crooks in action. >> reporter: it's called pinning

and it's a new trick used on scratch-off tickets. the cheaters are counting on you to miss the subtle changes to the surface of the card. scratchers are the california lottery's cash cow. last year players spent $2.7 billion on these games. >> send my kids to college. >> just a thrill. the anticipation. >> there's always a chance. >> reporter: the chances of winning big money are tough enough without cheaters like this store clerk in san jose caught on his own surveillance cameras. lottery investigators say when he wasn't working the counter, he was working over his c customers, selling scratchers he knew were duds. how did he know? because he had already checked them. watch as he leans over this stack of tickets. investigators say he's removing a tiny bit of the top layer of the ticket. he's looking for each scratcher's unique three-digit

code. that code plus the ticket's par code tells him if it's a winner. police say he sells the loosers to unsuspecting customers. the crime is called pinning because they use something small and sharp like a pin. he scrapes a thin line on the ticket where he knows he can see the three digit code. that tells him what the ticket is worth. even frequent players can be fooled because unless you look closely, you'll never notice the small line of missing latex. the acting chief of the lottery police, yes, the lottery has its own police. >> i look at this as stealing from children. >> reporter: that's because the lottery paid $1 billion to california schools last year. police say they investigate to keep the games fair and honest so you keep playing. >> we have looked at every single scam that comes our way.

>> reporter: tonight at 11:00 we'll show you how the clerk sold the losing tickets to unsuspecting customers. plus we'll have more from investigators as they go undercover to catch other cheaters who try to game the system. vicky nguyen, nbc bay area news. 6:27 right now. still ahead, a booze bust forcing a firefighter to turn in his badge. we'll let you know what happened in the undercover sting that uncovered criminal charges.
